Evan, IN Book Club News: Del-Rey Contract Goodies

Well more info about what novels are coming our way-

1. Darth Bane III

2. Blood Oath (post-LOTF novel, but pre-Fate Of The Jedi)

3. Untitled post-LOTF novel (see article on main TF.net page, pre-FOTJ)

4. Untitled post-LOTF novel (Boba Fett related, pre-FOTJ?)

5. Fate Of The Jedi - Book 1 - Outcast

6. Imperial Commando

Speculation-

Seems that the post-LOTF novels are preparing us for a new Mandalorian conflict. LOTF certainly seemed to hint at this development. Mandalorian mobilization equals post-WWI Germans rearming themselves. I suspect the Mandalorians have a 'closet darksider' in their ranks. This Force-strong Mandalorian becomes a problem (and an excuse to censure all Force-sensitive persons). GA-COS Daala would not argue with that I'm sure. In keeping with the grim irony that is Boba Fett's life I'd not be surprised if he is finally killed by the Mandalorian darksider. Not unlike Hitler's internal coup between the SA and the SS in the early days of the Nazi movement. As far as the new Jedi order is concerned I'd imagine they are called in when the conventional fight becomes darkly unatural.
